Tho Archbishop. e1.nuscr,p.,

The late archbishop Of Canterbury,
when preaching at ST. Paul's, had the
notes Of his sermon containing some i'm
portant statistics on half sheet of note
paper before him on the pulpit cushion.
During the hymn sudden gust Of wind
whirled the little paper among the audi
ence and waited it into the face of citi-
zen ut some distance from the pulpit.
The archbishop expected 1t to be brought
back. The man looked over the scribbled
paper and sudden look Of bright intelli-
gence stole into his face; he closed his
book, folded up the paper, placed it in his
breast pocket and hurriedly left the
church, congratulating himself upon hay-
ing secured SO undoubtcd an autograph
under such exceptionally interesting and
unique circumstances. The keen sense of
humor SO characteristic of DR.. TAFT came
to his relief, and it is strong testimony
to the imperturbable serenity Of the man
that he was able to preach his sermon as
If nothing had happened.-Ch Chicago News.

The Barber 10 . vlatterer.


A barber has to encourage the vanities
and conceits Of men more than any other
class Of people. For instance, the use Of
powder on u mnn's face after shaving is
only species Of vanity. The harmless
chalk or magnesia that is rubbed on the
face is productive Of neither good nor
harm, and few minutes after leaving
the barber's chair the powder disappears,
either being blown of by the wind,
brushed of by the hand or dissolved In
the perspiration Of the face. In no case
does tho powder last five minutes after q
shave, yet people demand its use, and we
encourage the little vanity.
Again BARRIERS must always be on the
lookout for young men who arc ambitious
to have boards. It sometimes takes
patient coaxing to develop the first mus
tache, but once done, your, patron is your
everlasting friend and customer. We
have to fatter mems boards, speak Of
their soft skin or silken hair. If we don't
they will go to other places where their
little conceits will be noticed The most
careless people are particular about their
BARRIERS and about the way the hair Is cut
OF beard shaved. No wonder the barber
is proverbially pleasant, and speaks Of
your family, your growing fame and at
tractive personal qualities. His trade de-
mands the encouragement of various
petty conceits. Next to your wife, your
barber is tho dattering glass in which you
see all your good points and none Of your
eaknesses.-Barter IL Globe-D Democrat.

Drew the Line at Sparks.

There is a story at Washington to
the effect that during a session OF con-
gress one winter Col. Morrison, then a
member of the house from Illinois, fell
very ill, and for some time his recoy-
ery was regarded as impossible. One
day, while he was at the lowest,
two off his colleagues-Cannon and
Springer-visited his bedside. They
thought that he was about to die,
and he appeared to share their belief,
'rhey said ali they could to cheer him,
and at last Cannon sympathetically
asked: well, Bill, is there anything |
can do for you?" The colonel was very
weak, indeed; he could notspeak above
whisper. He managed by supreme
effort to stretch out his right hand and
place it on Cannon's; in Il moment his
face frightened and he whispered
eyes, Joe, there is one thing you cant do
| If YOU will, and | would like to have
your PROMISE .Certainly, Bill, what
ever it is | will do it," replied Cannon,
eagerly. Well, Joe, 1 may notget well.
| 1t seems to me that can hear the bells
onthe othershore already. Ill die sup
pose there will he the usual performance
| IN the house. shall be credited with
| a lot of virtues which Inever possessed
and lot OF funeral eloqnence will be
wasted over me. There's Springer; he
will talk he can not help II. Let him
talk. There's Dick Townshend-of
course. Dick will have to talk. Let him
1 talk: it can not hurt ME after | am
i gone. But, Joe" whispered Morrison.

Talking ofa prohibition Plank. /.

Washington special, 9: There was a
great gathering at the residence of SEN
ator Palmer tonight of republican SEN
ators to meet Mr.. Griffin, the president
of the anti-saloon republican associa-
tion of the United States, to confer
with him in reference to the policy of
adopting the prohibition amendment
in the republican platform. Among
those present were Senators Blair,
Frye, Morrill,. Dawes, Platt, Hawley,
Chase, Wilson, of Iowa; Palmer and
Stockbridge. The conference was pure
ly informal. and intended to be secret.
No conclusions were reached, but
there was a free discussion of the poll
tical situation, and the relation OF the
republican party to the prohibition
movement. The opinion of most of
the senator's seemed to be that the time
was approaching, although it may not
already have arrived, when the repub-
lican party would be compelled to as
sumo the leadership in the prohibition
movement and adopt that issue. All
the gentlemen present were In favor
of making it a republican issue in state
campaigns, but were not ready to rec
ommend its adoption as national is
sue at present.

Bishop IIare's Views.

Bishop Hare was recently inter-
viewed by the Rapid City Journal on
the opening of the Sioux reservation
as follows:
II think the chances are better now
than ever, for the reason that there are
now united elements that have here
tofore worked at cross purposes. The
principal factors are now harmonious.
That is, the missionaries, the western
people, and the sensible, thinking
friends Of the Indians in the east are
unanimous now, and will work to-
gether for the attainment OF the one
object. This has never been the case
before. That the united influence of
these will have weight with congress
can not be doubted. Not only that, but
tile best friends OF the Indians are con-
cerned in the movement. and think
that in the attainment of the object
contemplated by the Dawes bill the
cause OF the red man will be forwarded
and his chances for civilization en-
hanced. 1t has been alleged that /
have opposed the opening of the reser-
yation. The truth is quite the oppo-
site. have worked if any man has to
accomplish this object, and have
always favored it. What L have OPP
posed. and will at any time or place
oppose, is any scheme whereby the
Indians are to be defrauded or treated
unfairly. / haye only opposed the
the Dawes bill in that where the bill as
prepared and sub nitted 10 the Indians
called for the investment of their
money at 5 per cent. congress reduced
the rate of interest to 3 per cent. with
ont the offering of an equivalent. This
was unfair treatment for the Indians
am in favor Of opening the ressrva-
tion and the settlement of the Indians
on individual farms"

Lyneh,ngs in the United states.

The number of reported murders in the
United States in 1882 was 1,2G8., There
were only 93 persons executed and 110
lynched-in all, 2l1. Consequently very
nearly LOSS criminals escaped We say
very nearly because come criminals may
have had more than one victim each. II
any Of those who were executed and
lynched We're innocent, then perhaps more
than 1,055 criminals escaped. Under any
government where I, ,173 murderers out Of
every 1855 escape legal execution, it is q
wonder that there are not 1000 lynched,
instead of 118. A man planning u cold
blooded murder may safely calculate upon
more than eleven chances to escap5 to
less than one for his detection, conviction
and execution; and taking in tho conjoint
probabilities Of legal and extra legal capt.
tai punishment, he may safely calculate
on five chances to one to escape. e.-Charles

An Astonished Senator. !.

!. Chicago News Washington special,7:
Two carloads of twenty-one fresh re.
porters were sent here this morning
from New York to interview all the
members of congress on thepresiaent's
message for the New York World. At
ter breakfast they started for the
capitol with notebooks and pencils in
their hands and number of set ques-
tions which had been prepared for
their guidance and attacked every man
they met, making some very funny
mistakes. One young fellow met Sen
ator German in the capitol corridor,
and taking him to be man OF promi-
nence addressed him. The following
unique conversation then took place:
"What is your name, please?"
The senator calmly replied: Arthur
=. German"
"Are you member Of congressy"
For once in his life the senator was
t:ak. taken by BY !, surprise but calmly answered;
"Do you belong to the senate or the
house Of representatives.
"To the senate" was the reply.
"What state are you from?'
Mr.. German leaned against pillar
for support and gasped: Maryland :
"IVhat are your politics."
Then Mr.. Gorman's knees began to
tremble. II am democrat" he man
aged to murlnur.
"Are you in favor of the administra-
Ition?''
ing effect TN the senator. Straighten-
ling himself up to his full height ne
asked: "Young man, what on earth
are you asking me those questions
for?'
II am Interviewing yon," was the re
ply;
"The New York World" =,
"Well," exclaimed German. 81
Thought as much," and, turning On his
lheel, walked away.

The Farmers should Combine.

Salem Special: What the. farmers of
Dakota want is to unite ss one man
and establish their own system of
prices and wages. They are entitled
to rights and privileges the same as all
other classes who set prices upon their
goods and manufactures. Let the
farmers like. the manufacturers set
their price upon all they produce. They
have just as much right to establish
their own prices as railroads and other
business enterprises. Right now is the
time to act while the question is be-
fore the people. In time the difficulties
may be somewhat tided over, the im-
parative demand for remedy cease.
Then it will be more difficult to reach
the desired end. Now is the time to
make beginning.

The South Side school.


Alta special meeting of the board of
education Friday evening, with all the
members present but Major Wallace, q
renonstrance to the location of a tenn
porary primary school on the south
side was presented by Messrs. Rogers
and Mcdonald, accompanied by petit
tion, signed by twenty-four citizens Of
that district. After general discus
sion, the board as a whole was of the
opinion that its action had gone too
far to be rsscinded while a majority
felt that the showing made was not
sullie,ent to warrant any change in the
plans. The school will, therefore, be
established as an experiment.

Can This Be 1'rues

Hurcnits: The "Larm" johnson
outfit ought not to be partial. If some
of the andi.division delegates have "all
expenses fully guaranteed" all should
be treated alike. Ii not why not? Ger
tainly. devoted friends of the cause
ought to be as well treated as the luke
warm. Its manifestly unfair to favor
the purely mercenary fellows, who
have to be hired to come, over those
whose hearts are in the work. We
heartily rejoice in the good fortune OF
the Beadle delegation, who will have
tickets to and return forwarded in
good time. and be the guests of the
committee while the convention lasts,'
but we do not like the quiet intimation
that this is a special favor which it lis
not practicable to do for ALL"
